KMH is facing major challenges. The global landscape for music production and consumption is undergoing rapid transformation, with partly new demands on music experiences and their development. KMH intends to use its own and the Swedish music industry's internationally strong position to become an important force in the transformation. This applies not least to a strategic investment in infrastructure for research and education in the form of modern and appropriately built premises, which create the conditions for researchers, teachers and students to conduct a developed and future-oriented activity unlike any other music school in Sweden today. For this purpose, KMH is building a new campus area in central Stockholm. The campus area will be a new home for music and a cultural nexus for Stockholm, but also a central point for high-tech music research in Sweden and northern Europe. The advanced and dynamic spaces in the future studio complex and concert halls point to a modern concept with variable acoustics, flexible audience areas and high-tech audiovisual solutions - designed for research and musical performances. KMH's new premises will contribute to the possibility of exploring new aspects of the expanding field of interaction between live music and mediated/recorded music. This exploration also goes beyond the traditional focus on music production as it also includes research on perception: the listener's relationship to the music.
